+ In addition to looking at designing a hardware description language, we
+ will also implement a prototype to test drive our ideas. This prototype will
+ translate hardware descriptions written in the Haskell functional language
+ to simple (netlist-like) hardware descriptions in the \VHDL language. The
+ reasons for choosing these languages are detailed in section
+ \in{}[sec:prototype:input] and \in{}[sec:prototype:output] respectively.
